Specialty cheese shop to open Monday. If you have plans to purchase some cheese in the next day or so, you may want to wait until Monday to stock up at Wausau's new specialty cheese shop, Navieve Fromagerie.

The store at 402 S. Second Ave. will open for the first time at 10 a.m. with 70 different cheeses for customers to choose from on opening day. Owners Maggie and Matthew Christians eventually will stock up to 150 different rotating cheeses in their store throughout the year. The shop also will feature items that pair well with cheese, like honey and cured meats, and offer a lunch menu featuring salads, appetizers and sandwiches.

Specialty cheese shop to open in Wausau

Ski's Meat Market Wausau extends hours.

A Rib Mountain meat shop is now open for an extra hour. Ski's Meat Market, 4516 Rib Mountain Drive, has extended its hours so that it's now open until 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, said owner Craig Wolf.

The meat market sells high-quality meat and cheese, offers a full-service deli and also offers a variety of homemade heat-and-eat entrees, such as shepherds pie, lasagna, baked ziti, cheesy potatoes and meatloaf muffins. Wolf said he decided to keep his business open later to cater to the dinner crowd as they make their way home for the evening.

Mobile restaurants prep to come out of hibernation

Mitch's Texas Tacos open for dinner on select days.

There's a new place in town to grab dinner on Taco Tuesdays: Mitch's Texas Tacos.

The food trailer, which you can find in the Trig's parking lot at 110 S. 17th Ave., is now open for dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Previously, the mobile dining was open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., but owner Mitch Slaughter said he decided to change up the hours after hearing from people interested in trying his Texas-styled tacos.

"I run into a lot of people who say, 'I can never make it over there,' because I'm open during school and work hours,'" Slaughter said.

But be sure to head over to the food trailer before the end of the month, however, because Slaughter said he'll be closing down the mobile restaurant for the season at the end of October. You can find Mitch's Texas Tacos on Facebook at facebook.com/MitchsTexasTaco
